4. rather convenient timing....

But hey, always nice to know the end of the world is on hold....

5. Wow! That is a relief.

I thought I would have to join the Rapture Ready crowd.

6. The Mayans never said the world was ending.

Dec. 21, 2012 is when full cycle of the Long Count is complete (when 13 bak'tuns have passed).

The Mayans say the next 13 bak'tuns are the Age of Enlightenment - not the end of the world.
